4. Looming suspensions

One of the main reasons why the Cowboys will struggle in 2017?

The bad decisions of their players off the field…

Pathetic, indeed.

The Cowboys are having trouble staying out of trouble these days, and it’s likely to cost them big time on the field.

It’s hard to say Randy Gregory is really costing this team when he never proved he could actually help it, but the other guys are/were projected starters and key contributors. We’ll see what the NFL does as far as the situations surrounding Elliott, but it would be a shocker if all of these guys were not suspended at the start of the season, and perhaps well into it.

The Cowboys need to get off to a good start this year, and these guys’ selfishness off the field will cost the team.
